I would wake you up but people that think like lashhog, phathog and dirkpiggler will still be around. I really thought most of this ideal would die off with the babyboomer generation but it is in full swing with people alive and well. Scary.

I don't normally do this but this seems to be an appropriate occassion:

"Lemme guess.. when you shake hands you offer a FIRM grip don't you.. or you think dick size matters? LMMFAO! nobody can do nothing about what your born with, and God gives everyone exactly what they need, your heart is the only thing that matters...Plus, my dicks little, but ask anybody that's kicked it in the sack with me and they'll tell you whats up.."

I think the drugs listed in this report were the subject of the arrests for the other 13 students. I haven't seen anything to link the football players (yet) to anything but pot. According to the article below, only 5 players tested positive at the February 1 screening. Hopefully, this is the end of the doomsday scenario for the football program.

This may not have devolved into one the stupidest threads ever but it's knocking on the door.

perhaps a bit shortsighted, but when I hear legalizing, I envision government produced, regulated, and distributed products, like cigarettes. Burn regulators, arsenic, various phenolic compounds like benzene, and probably shwag quality? If I were a smoker, I'd rather get it from a buddy or grow my own than the man.

In contrast, i see decriminalizing simply no punishment for possession, or Starkville, even a ticket would be better than the cost of jailing someone for a non-violent offense.

I realize there holes in each argument.

The one thing that marijuana has over the Marlboros, Winstons, and Camels of the world is that a simpleton with half a brain can develop a pretty decent crop of herb. Big Business folks haven't figured out how to legalized it and make it profitable for them.

So a kid gets busted with some arbitrary weight of MJ (I don't know what the Texas law is, but we'll say an ounce) that's above the threshold deemed for personal use. So that kid with 1.1 ounces is now a dealer. But it's his first offense. So he gets a light sentence (maybe a fine and community service). But that goes on his permanent record. He's been convicted of a crime. Welp. So much for getting my degree. Why go through the trouble if I won't be able to get a job now. Might as well deal drugs.

I just don't get it.

I deal with prosecutors everyday. I'll be bringing this up for deferred adjudication arguments. Good insight.

By that logic the government manufactures everything because they damn sure tax everything..

now you might be on to something there...

the federal government does possess warrants that would allow them to take a 79.9% ownership share in the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They also now have GM and Crystler. Not to mention generous assests in agriculture, water, and financial institutions.

...and to clarify, when I responded to 'selling smokes' I meant profiting copious amounts of cash without the tobacco company being a government sponsored enterprise. So, yes, I don't think hill staffers are rolling Marlboro's.

:frenchJust because muzz, ocelot and i think it should be legalized doesnt mean we are sitting at home with needles hanging out of our arms. My partying years are passed me as well. Congratulations for surviving. I still enjoy a nice homebrew and a spliff. That for sure doesnt make me an overdosing criminal partier.

Go ahead and throw me in with you guys. It should be legalized yesterday.

If I had known in college how serious these "crimes" were I might have been more careful but I still would hbe smoked weed. I used to keep a QP around all the time just because itWas cheaper in bulk. Apparently that makes you a big timeDrug dealer.
